Unplug Your Laptop Now, or It Will Stay Plugged in Forever
Apple took this out of Mac OS somewhat recently. You can try to rely on their power management, but given battery decay is a common reason to buy a new machine I don’t trust them really.
If you have an Apple Silicon Mac I can recommend Battery [1]. It can keep your Mac at 80%, and even force discharge while plugged in to get there. It’s a CLI and status bar utility, I love it.

BatteryKid – yet another macOS charge limiter
After trying Battery (https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery, it is Electron UI, big in size), I created batteryKid (https://github.com/alaneuler/batteryKid) with native Swift as a coding exercise out of curiosity.

Charging a lithium battery to 80% only?
FYI, on Apple Silicon Apple included a firmware-level "hard-switch" to limit the charge to 75/80% only. It was discovered by marcan while working on Asahi and in my experience it's much more convenient than the built-in ML-based solution (and also less hacky and bloated than AlDente).
See this discussion on GitHub[0] for the explanation and this snippet[1] for easy use.

Thoughts on Aldente Pro
Anyways, al dente didn’t do the job for me. I found this https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery it also discharges and keep it to whatever percentage you feel comfortable with with. So now it’s always on 80, which I prefer.

macOS 13.5 no longer allows setting system wide ulimits
A large number of extremely talented engineers might beg to differ. Everything you listed as an issue has a solution. Like any operating system, you have to spend the time to learn the intricacies of how it works and to customize it to your liking. For me, must haves are Alfred to replace spotlight, my dotfiles which change a ton of defaults in various apps like finder, the dock, etc, setup key repeat, iterm2 colors and profile, etc. divvy and magnet for window management. Caffeine to prevent sleep. Stats open source menu monitors to replace istatmenus
I’m sure there are newer equivalents to what I’ve listed. I’ve been using those programs for years.

Just got MBP M1 Pro. Any tips for me?
I guess the awesome Mac list is a solid place to start generally speaking, since there are a lot of apps of all kinds of use cases in there. Personally, I especially love - Raycast (replacement for spotlight, check out Alfred as well) - Bartender (to tidy up the menu bar) - AltTab (gives you a Windows like app switcher) - Rectangle (windows like window management) - purepaste (let’s you paste text without formatting)
